[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents made it clear that I wasn't "allowed" to date until college... and I didn't date until college.  Am I the only person who was not interested in rebellion?  I don't remember this as even being a point of conflict.  High school boys are sort of gross and immature (although I know there are exceptions).[/quote]

Sounds weird and emotionally stunted of all of you, yes. But if you wanted an excuse not to dare you got one and that worked for you.
My DD is a straight A student and is finishing HS at the top of her class (so she definitely studies) and if I had told her to study and that she can’t date so that she can focus on her school work she would have very loudly told me to go pound sand and most likely murdered me in my sleep. These are almost adults you can offer guidance but not boss them around like they are 8 years old. Unless you have a very compliant teen but honestly that would worry me - how will that child do when they are on their own? [/quote]
